End of Year

As I sit here and think about the year 2024 and everything that has happened in my life. I learned so much about family, friends and myself too. I know there is a lot to be great for, but there is this that I will have to change in the up coming year. Change is not always good for everyone that is involved but sometimes hard choices have to be made.

I have learned that I have people I can count on no matter what and there are others I have to let go because you can count on them or they are not there when you need them the most. It’s hard when you have to choice but life is not always what it seems. You make time for the one that you care about and want in your life. I know that is not always easy but if you care and want them there you make an effort to make it happen.

I have also learned I have changed what I like and don’t and want to make a difference in this world. I want to give back and make the most of each day of my life. I know this is going to be all on me, but I am willing to make the effort to know that I can do it. I want to learn more about what I am good at and what I want to work on. Change has its good side and it is bad but if you do it for yourself you know that it has to be right.

I am also going to keep going on this journey and that change I make and let you know how I am doing. I know it is never easy at the beginning but it is now or never. I know that I will have hard times but I will make the most of them and work thru them all.

I am going to take one day at a time and enjoy life a little more and have some fun in the meantime. Learn more about healthy ways I can eat and learn new things at the same time. I know that some people would call this a new year resolution but not me. Most people make them and they are short term. I am making changes and growing into someone that enjoys life more.

My health means a lot and that is one thing that I need to work on the most, because I had a rough year with that. I am ready to take the steps and change what I can and hopefully feel better and more energy.

I want to wish all the people that have followed me with this journey and will continue because 2025 is coming up quickly and I am ready.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC)Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

I wanted to talk about Ulcerative Colitis a little because I know there are a lot of people who have. I am one of those people too. I have good days with it and bad. There are different types from mild to severe. When you have a bad day or week it takes you out . I know that the type of treatment I get is infusions and they help. I know I still have a day or two to feel back to myself again. But if you have not heard of it or know someone that deals with it, let me tell you some of the symptoms we have to deal with most of the time.

Symptoms of Colitis could be any of the following: Pain in the abdomen, joints or rectum, along with bloating, blood in your stools, diarrhea. There are more things we deal with anemia, fatigue, fever or loss of appetite, cramping , weight loss. It can drain you for a day or longer. The treatments do help but still have those bad days.

I have UC for over 18 years and I never have the same day. I know others that deal with it and are doing great. I wanted to let you know this because sometimes this is something that keeps me from making my post each week.

Thanks for listening to me and I hope it makes it easier to understand that you don’t know what someone is going through unless you ask.

LimitsLimits

This week I like to talk about our limits and when they get pushed too far. I know that I have had this happen to me these past couple of weeks. I was not sure how to handle it. So I had to look for something that would help me calm down.

Remember what makes you feel at peace and happiness. I know that I had to think and push myself into what I need to do. It is not always easy but it works in the end. Baking and reading help me. When I am baking I listen to pod cast and that also helps direct my mind to something else and calms the rest of me.

At night I go to bed early to read and that directs me to what I am reading and calms me to be able to sleep which I need. I know what I need and I just have to figure out how to make it happen for me.

I know this post has taken me a little longer. It’s hard to type one handed that is for sure. When you have a lot of things to do, but when you have to do it slow and one handed. I just know that my limits have been tested , but this is a time when I get to know myself. I know that changes are happening and I can’t stop it.

Thank you for following my journey and getting to know me.

TruthTruth

Sometime this can be hard to take but other times it just make you made that when you find out the truth you just want to go and say something to that person. I know that I am blessed and glad that I have great friends that have my back, because when I found out the truth they are still there in my life. Sometime you thing that one person can’t change someone else life but it can. It happen to me, but I am better for it and I opened a new chapter in my life and I will a happier person for it. So you can say that the one person I can thank for that, because if it was not for this person I would still be unhappy and stressed each day of the week. My life has gone in a better direction.

So when you find something out, just think of how it effects your life, because one day you can look back and say thank you, they may even made life better. when one door closes, a new and better one will open, you just need to find it.

Be kind to all!
